Mom’s Special Traditions

This family of 9 children each shared a special connection with their mother, who died of hepatocellular carcinoma in 2005. All of the children remember their mother’s enthusiasm for baking holiday cookies and cooking for family movie and pizza nights. Family Lives On has helped this family keep their mother’s traditions alive by providing them with everything they need for their three traditions– Kielbasa & Movie Night, Pizza & Game Night, & Holiday Baking.
